I either saw this on a tee shirt, or read about it. Anyway, its a great statement, because it implies that slavery was bad, but also implies that if slavery hadn't existed there wouldn't be black people in the US. So, its kind of hard for your standard issue liberal to take issue with the statement, because if he says that "we should have picked our own cotton" is bad in that it would mean less blacks in the US today, he is implying that slavery was a neccessary evil on the road to a non-white Brazilified US.
